I have no idea why Bridge has when asked to sort by date created put this one in a totally different place to others, this is my excuse for not finding it before

Ken, I only briefly looked at the previous post (sorry, just haven't been able to spend enough time in the wildlife gallery lately), but I like this one much better. The other felt too tight to me. The V shape in the tree is perfectly placed in this one. Very nice.

Ken, this is a big improvement, especially space wise at the top. Love how the leopard blends so well with the tree. At the risk of sounding picky....what do you mean, it is being picky...with apologies. I think that cropping some off the left, at least to the first bit of blurred background, would enhance the intensity of the leopard's stare and create an even stronger sense of "about to pounce". In addition, burning in that bright vertical strip above the leopard's shoulder would remove a minor distraction. Those are nits on a really fine image.
